I always sell for a price and state that the buyer pays packing and 
shipping charges.   I don't recall ever loosing a sale due to those 
terms.   I use a commercial packing service and can always quote the 
packing and shipping charges once the destination is known.

In general I find USPS Priority is less expensive and faster than UPS 
ground or Fed-X ground.   I shipped my K3S to Elecraft via USPS 
Priority.  It took 3 days from the time I dropped it at the Post Office 
on a Wednesday and  was delivered on Friday.    Once repaired, it was 
shipped  to me via UPS ground which took 9 days, of which it sat in a 
UPS distribution center for 3 days.   I'm not bashing UPS, just stating 
the facts.

I sold my Collins 32S1 transmitter to a fellow in Australia.   He paid 
$425 for the item and the shipping and packing charges was $375, for a 
total of $800 USD.    Expensive transmitter!  But I guess he wanted it 
real bad.
